The future is nowBringing OE innovation to the independent aftermarket
Exide is introducing its next generation of light-vehicle batteries. The range was developed in Exide’s original equipment business,
and is specially optimised for the most advanced powertrain technologies coming to market now and in the years ahead. It
provides unparalleled performance and the reassurance of a leading OE brand. Exide also offers a suite of professional accessories,
allowing workshops to provide customers with the highest level of service.
An indisputable trendVery ambitious EU legislation targets restricting CO
2 emissions have incentivised vehicle manufacturers to design much more
efficient cars with modern engines, next-generation fuel-saving capabilities such as Start-Stop, battery management systems
and smart alternators. The number of Start-Stop vehicles, all of which need OE-compliant AGM and EFB batteries, is increasing
dramatically. While conventional powertrains still powered most of the car parc in 2018, the percentage of Start-Stop vehicles in
Europe is growing rapidly every year.
› In 2018, cars with Start-Stop powertrains accountedfor approximately 35% of the total car parc in Europe
› By 2024, the majority (61%) of vehicles in the car parcwill feature a Start-Stop system (Micro & Mild Hybrids)
› The number of cars with Start-Stop systems will haverisen from 1% to 61% in just 15 years
› Significant replacement potential for OE-compliant AGM and EFB batteries in the aftermarket

Exide EFBOEM experience for the aftermarket
First invented by Exide in 2008, EFB batteries have come to
play an increasingly crucial role for car manufacturers in order
to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Now Exide brings
the latest OE generation to the aftermarket, featuring Carbon
Boost 2.0.
The new Exide EFB battery supports all vehicles, with
and without Start-Stop systems, which have high cycling

requirements. When installed in cars with a Start-Stop system,
Exide’s new EFB battery shows an unmatched energy recovery
and exceptional dynamic charge acceptance. The battery also
benefi ts from a longer overall lifespan, when installed in cars
with conventional power train.

Carbon Boost 2.0
Carbon Boost® is Exide’s unique recipe for carbon additives on
the negative plates that was fi rst developed for Exide’s Start-Stop
OEM batteries. Continuous investments in R&D, tighter emissions
regulations and the increasing demands from the OEMs in regards
to charge acceptance and energy availability have lead to the
development of the new Carbon Boost 2.0.
Carbon Boost 2.0 uses improved carbon additives, combining an
optimized surface structure with signifi cantly better conductivity.
This enables a better current fl ow within the battery, resulting in
unmatched charge acceptance. It also helps to dissolve the lead
sulfate deposits that usually consolidate on a battery’s discharged
negative plates, reducing its ability to charge back effi ciently.

Lab tests show that it takes signifi cantly less time to recharge an Exide Premium Carbon Boost
battery than a standard battery under the same conditions.

Carbon Boost technology
Benefi ts
› 75% more energy recovered in the same amount of time compared to older EFB
› Optimized regenerative braking functionality - ensuring fuel savings and reduction of CO
2 emissions
› Longer overall lifespan
Benefi ts
› Faster recharging (2 × times faster than other conventional batteries)
› Longer lifespan (higher average state-of-charge throughout battery life)
Faster recharging reduces the risk of breakdowns by keeping
the battery in a healthy state of charge for longer.

WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure)
Strict new EU regulations have imposed a CO2 emissions limit of
95g/km in vehicle homologation testing by 2021*.
The WLTP test measures how much battery capacity is depleted
in testing and converts it to equivalent fuel consumed and CO2
emitted. The battery should retain a high percentage of its initial
capacity to help car makers avoid being penalized when passing
certain thresholds. Since the recharging process accounts for
only 8% of test duration, the battery needs to achieve the highest
possible energy recovery in a short time. With Carbon Boost 2.0,
the dynamic charge acceptance of EFB batteries is maximized, and
› The battery accepts 75% higher average recharging current than previous generation
› It preserves a higher capacity at the end of the test (2,5 × less state-of-charge loss compared to previous generations)

Patented Labyrinth for
extreme safety
The latest Premium with Carbon Boost 2.0 now recharges up to 2
times faster compared to other conventional batteries, thanks to
Exide’s proprietary application of carbon additives on the negative
plates.
While battery failure remains the number one cause of car
breakdowns*, fast recharging considerably reduces the risk of
breakdowns by helping the battery retain a healthy state of
charge for longer.
The Premium Carbon Boost battery is designed to withstand
extreme temperature, power-hungry electrical equipment and
intensive urban driving.
Did you know? - Things that drain your battery
Cold weather signifi cantly impairs battery performance. But it is during the cold season that more energy is needed for light and heating.
Hot weather accelerates self-discharge, grid corrosion and active material shedding. It could lead to shorter service life if batteries are not reinforced for extreme climates.
In urban environments the engine is often turned off or idle, and the electrical system may consume more power than the alternator can supply. This puts extra pressure on the battery.
Power-hungry electrical equipment, such as media players or navigation equipment, put extra pressure on the battery.
